The adventure-ready Ford Ranger is not only engineered to be the most versatile and capable yet, but it was also designed to stand out in a crowd.
“We start researching colours up to five years in advance and stay up to date with colour trends to ensure the colours complement the vehicles personality but also adapt to current trends", said Emily Harrington, colour and materials designer, Ford.
We've all experienced that sudden gust of wind that threatens to yank an open car door from our grasp or struggled while trying to open a door with one hand while holding items in the other.
To fix these issues, Ford’s interior design team changed the design of the door handle, incorporating the release into the handle itself. To open the door, the release is squeezed against the handle, creating a natural grip on the door as it opens, preventing it from swinging open in a gust of wind or when you’ve parked on a slope.
In the same way a hole in a bucket will let water leak out, certain parts in a vehicle can let in air, and that can create noise in the cabin.
Chasing down these virtual and physical noise pathways is the challenge Ford’s Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) team takes on, said Mark Thompson, PhD, who is the NVH engineer for Ranger and Everest.
Tucked away beneath the wing mirror on the Ford Everest is a tiny little sensor with an enormous role to play in customer safety.
This little piece of equipment is called the outside air temperature (OAT) sensor, and it’s one of the most important sensors in your Everest, said Sandy Fragapane, Ford’s Climate Control Attribute supervisor for ICE Propulsion and Thermal Systems.
Designed and engineered by a global team headquartered in Australia, the Ranger is now sold in more than 180 markets around the world, and continues to build a reputation for quality, reliability and durability.
Ford Motor Company is using cutting edge manufacturing technology to ensure high quality vehicles to ensure parts and panel accuracy of 99.99 percent.
Panels are scanned by Ford’s ScanBox 3D scanner, which is up to 80 percent faster than traditional methods of measurement and is able to provide all-in-one scanning, inspection and reporting at the press of a button.
The Ford Ranger and Everest have always been capable when the bitumen ran out. Now, they’re even better thanks to a raft of technologies including an expanded and enhanced suite of drive modes1 to support owners in their off-road adventures.
Previously, only Ranger Raptor and Everest were available with drive modes, but now Ranger boasts them too. “Ranger and Everest’s selectable drive modes have been developed to give customers a vehicle that flatters the novice and enhances the expert,” said David Grice, chief program engineer, Ford Ranger and Everest.
We’ve all been in a car when someone’s opened a window for some fresh air, and suddenly it feels as if your ear drums are about to explode.
This ear-thumping thunder is known colloquially as window buffeting or window throb, or ‘close that window now, my ears are about to explode’, but its scientific description is Helmholtz resonance. The ‘throb’ occurs when one vehicle window is lowered only and can usually be stopped by lowering another window on the opposite side of the vehicle. But why does it happen?
Ford has released the second episode of The Inside Scoop - a new video series that takes viewers behind the scenes to learn more about the company and the people that create vehicles and technologies that are designed to help customers do more.
